was about thirty minutes long and it was very emotional

(00:26):
and it was a you know, Peyton opened up about
some stuff and a lot of it. It was started
with a lot of your rebranding, right. You've been hearing
for the last couple of weeks. You've been rebranding, right.
So before the podcast dropped, I was working on a game, Peyton,
a special game, and I've got it together because today

Peyton, which entertainment giant launched a short lived DVD delivery
spinoff called quick Stir in twenty eleven, but pulled the
plug almost immediately Netflix. Yesy Kyle, this is a hard
one too. This is a rebranding that's failing. It's I
think it's failing right now. According to my research. What
social media platform rebranded to meta in twenty twenty one,

(04:17):
prompting memes and mixed reviews?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Isn't it the group?

Speaker 5 (04:22):

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Fail fail?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
See see what I mean?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It didn't work on you.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
I don't even know. I don't understand it.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Still we still have metal on oil on Facebook.

Duncan Yes, Rich What nineties era internet company rebranded itself
Oath in twenty seventeen, then quietly disappeared under that name.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ao Will Yes, boy, These rebranding. He's failed.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Pton I think I've got like a tech or clothing
business or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I'm a human.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's a good point.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, George Clutey is too.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, I forgot about that one.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, sorry George, But I think people still like George Clotoney.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
It's Wednesday. That was my trivia game.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's Wednesday, and all.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Right, so it is tax season as well, right, anybody
here do their taxes?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
No? And I think that's the problem. Every year, you guys,
around this time, I get so stressed out because I procrastinate,
and I'm like, next year, I'm not going to do
that next year. What I'm gonna do is, at the
end of every month, I'm going to go through whatever expenses,
whatever things.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
We purchased, and pick out all the ride offs.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
So that I don't get bogged down when tax season comes.
And guess what, I didn't do it again.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And so now I have.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
One week deal tax appointment and I haven't even started.
I don't know why I do this.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Do you and your husband do it together and you
have your own and he has his own.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
We have like separate because he has like his whole
business and I'm not trying to get I'm you know,
I procrastinated, so he doesn't want me a part of that.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Same tax person.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
And I think that I was trying to break it
down because I've made it a big point with my
kids and their homework. I used to be like, I
want to get home, I want to do whatever I want,
and then I would stay up late and get my
homework done. I've always been a procrastinator with stuff like this,
and so with my kids, I make it a big point,
like get your homework done and then have fun, because
I don't want them to turn out like me. I
want them to start the habit of getting their stuff

(06:29):
done early because it's such a pain, because it's so
stressful when you procrastinate, and I don't want them to
go through that. But then I'm like, why do I
still do this? I know it's a pain, I know
it's going to be annoying, I know it's going to
be stressful. Why do I still wait till the last minute?
And I think it's because I always get it done,
Like if I didn't get it done, then next year
I'd be like I had I didn't get it done.

(06:49):
Last time, I got to do something different, but I
always end up getting it done.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's just more stressful that way.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
But like I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
I don't want to do that. So what I've started
to kind of do, and this is also why I procrastinate,
is I'm like, there's got to be some sort of AI, right,
Like AI should be helpful.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
In these kinds of situations.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
I should be able to plug in my credit card number.
I should be able to And I know there's things
where it's like but then you have to separate them. No,
I want the AI to do it all. I want
to say, here's what my write ups are, Go find them,
Go find them and organize them for me on a
neat little spreadsheet and then voila. But because I've waited
for the last minute, like I can't take all my
time that I should be highlighting and organizing the numbers

(07:30):
with trying to research different AIS that would help me
with that.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Is this still do on the fifteenth? Is that a
thing still?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Or yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
It is?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
All right, Payton you do your taxes?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, I did do my taxes. I was actually talking
to Kyle about when I was doing my tax a
couple of weeks ago. I was like, I do feel
for you because like you're like a grown woman with
a husband and kids and you've got a lot of.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Stuff to handle. What that house is. I don't have that.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's just me and like my bar my bar hoppings.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Or when you are so organized and you were like done,
and I'm like, oh, that's nice. And at that point
I should have gone, I should probably.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Start right now.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
When she asked you, you mean when she brought up.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Wow, yeah, wow, I know, procrastinating. So I did all
my little highlighting and it was really interesting to see
and like look back at all the things that I
did and all the memories that I had while going
through all my like bank statements, but oh my gosh,
when you have to like look at how much money
you spent on the year, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I don't like to see the door dash.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Did you do your taxes already?

Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, we're still doing them.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
So when you do, know you being a newlywed, do
you is it?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Are you like we file? Is is a couple? Actually?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
So you share everything? Then? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
We share we we Yeah, that's how you get a
file once you get married.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, I can honestly tell you Guys, I have no
idea what's going on.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
You don't do that alone.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
You should kiss your web speed every time.
